At the G-5 Branch...
"Captain, the Navy has begun mobilizing. A large fleet is heading this way," Najenda reported, her tone serious.
"We've also confird that Sakazuki himself is preparing to lead the operation."
She paused, then added, "The Whitebeard Pirates have declared their support. They'll act alongside us when the ti cos. As for the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks has taken his crew to Mariejois. Their intentions remain unclear.
The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates under Kaido haven't made a move yet."
Ryuunosuke stood silent, listening intently as the sea breeze tugged at his coat.
It had been over two years since he first set sail. Until now, the Dragon Hunter Pirates had never faced such overwhelming opposition.
But this ti... it was different.
The World Governnt wasn't just reacting—they were targeting them directly.
If they stayed quiet or backed down now, the Governnt would only beco more emboldened. Eventually, even the most basic safety of his crew would be jeopardized.
"Najenda. The Navy won't let the main forces leave this region."
"Call Chrollo. I need to speak with him."
Najenda nodded and left without another word.
Originally, they had planned to head to White Ball Island, but with the situation escalating, those plans had been postponed. Now, Ryuunosuke had decided to let Conrad handle things there.
After all, it was just a scientific research facility. How strong could a bunch of lab rats possibly be?

"Captain! What's up?" Chrollo grinned as he approached.
"You want to kidnap the Five Elders? Or are we finally looting Mariejois' treasure vault?"
His tone was joking, but behind that smirk hid a hatred as deep as the sea. Ryuunosuke knew him well—Chrollo never showed concern for casualties, but he harbored a vendetta against the World Governnt that burned hotter than fire.
That was the real reason he'd soon beco their most dangerous weapon.
"Take your squad and head to Marineford," Ryuunosuke ordered calmly.
"Wait for my signal… and when it cos, launch a full assault."
"No restrictions this ti."
Chrollo's eyes glead.
"Understood, Captain!"
He tossed on his long coat, turned, and left with his n—grinning as if heading to a festival rather than a battlefield.
Ryuunosuke walked slowly toward the coastline, gazing out at the glimring water.
The sea was beautiful… but the world it reflected was full of danger.
He had been too arrogant. His power had grown fast. His influence, even faster.
And for a ti, he thought that was enough.
But he had forgotten one crucial truth—the reason the World Governnt had ruled for so long wasn't strength alone. It was foundation. Influence. History.
And now, they were baring their fangs.
"Captain, I'm ready."
At that mont, Yahiko joined him by the shore.
"I know."
"From here on… we let ti do its work."
Ryuunosuke sat down cross-legged, eyes still fixed on the endless sea, his thoughts unreadable.

anwhile, on White Ball Island...
"Brother Conrad, we're here."
Finks pointed ahead. "White Ball Island—straight ahead."
"Do we head straight to shore?"
"Yeah," Conrad replied. "Captain's not done handling things yet.
We'll take care of this issue before the real battle begins."
"Let's move."
The mont their ship approached the island, wary eyes watched from the docks.
Pirates from the Dragon Hunter crew—especially ones from the Mink Tribe—were rare sights here.
But despite their fearso appearance, Conrad and his team didn't pillage, burn, or threaten anyone. Instead, they moved quietly to the rear of the island.
"Are they really with the Dragon Hunter Pirates?"
"Didn't they declare war on the World Governnt? What are they doing here now?"
"It doesn't seem like a raid…"
"Tell everyone to stay indoors. No use poking a tiger," a local elder said. "We don't want to get caught in the crossfire."

At the secret experintal facility behind White Ball Island…
"Doctor Snooki! Urgent news!"
A man in a hazmat suit rushed into the lab, panic written all over his face.
"The Dragon Hunter Pirates' Logistics Division is headed here! It's Conrad—he's leading the Mink Tribe team straight for us!"
Snooki blinked, confused.
"The Mink Tribe? Shouldn't they be tied up with the Navy right now? Why are they here?"
Snooki was the facility's director—an ambitious man obsessed with experintation on the Mink Tribe, especially their powerful Sulong form. He believed that if their power could be replicated in ordinary humans, he'd beco a scientific legend.
"Should we evacuate, sir?" the assistant asked nervously.
"We'll be dragged into hell if we ss with the Dragon Hunters…"
Snooki snorted.
"Tch. It's just one Mink Tribe man."
"Besides, it's dayti. Without the moonlight, he can't transform. And down here, we control the battlefield."
He grinned wickedly.
"Let's give them a warm welco. My little babies have been itching to test so flesh…"
---
Back at the base entrance, Conrad and his crew stood before a large steel gate.
"Is this the place?" one of the crew asked.
"Should we smash it down or—?"
Clank... ka-chunk...
Before he could finish, the door creaked open on its own.
A long tal corridor stretched before them, lit with sterile white light.
"Looks like soone rolled out the red carpet for us."
"Let's not keep them waiting."
Conrad chuckled and walked in.
As they moved deeper into the facility, the door behind them slamd shut.
But the lights stayed on. No traps… yet.
They soon reached a wide room—part laboratory, part coliseum. The sterile white walls were reinforced with layers of steel. Clearly, this was a testing ground.
Then ca the heavy thump of tallic footsteps.
A towering six-ter-tall man stepped into view.
Human, yes—but sothing was off.
His presence… his energy… it felt corrupted. Worse, Conrad sensed faint traces of Mink Tribe energy leaking from him.
"Welco, Dragon Hunter Pirates," a voice echoed through a speaker.
Behind a transparent protective shield stood a tall, thin man in a white lab coat.
"Let guess… you're here to attack the base?"
"Well then—how about a warm-up?
"Say hello to my little cuties."
He grinned maniacally and licked his lips.
